Anne-Marie Croteau, Department of Decision Sciences and Management Information Systems (Mid-Scholar Award)

Steve Harvey, JMSB’s dean, presided over the ceremony and took the opportunity to praise the business school’s many successes. “The academic performance and extracurricular activities of our students are very impressive,” he said, relating some of his impressions from his first six months at JMSB. “They continue to outperform their peers in various academic areas and carry on winning case competitions all over the world.”
He acknowledged the hard work and dedication of many members of the faculty, staff and coaching teams who make the students’ outstanding performance possible.
“I am proud also of our faculty’s rising research record,” he said. “HEC Montréal recently presented a report that listed JMSB as the sixth business school in Canada in terms of articles published by professors in the field’s top-cited journals.”
After acknowledging a group of individuals who reached key milestones in their years of service to Concordia in 2012, Harvey welcomed JMSB’s newest faculty and staff members.
He then congratulated Mahesh Sharma from the Department of Decision Sciences and Management Information Systems for being named a Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and presented him with a framed confirmation certificate from the society.
The dean also used the occasion to thank the faculty and staff for being so welcoming since his arrival at Concordia last summer and for helping to make the transition into his new role a smooth one.
